Posner's Spawn

No, not this fellow. This fellow. This new Judge Posner opinion contains an interesting and educational discussion of copyrights for co-creators, a comparison of equitable estoppel concepts in statutes of limitations to adverse possession of property, and descriptions of Spawn comics such as this:
